‘Vampire Survivors’ Finally Heads to PS5 This Summer, New Crossover DLC With ‘Contra’ Announced in ‘Operation Guns’ [Trailer]
Having already been released to Steam, Xbox and the Nintendo Switch, the wait is almost over for PlayStation owners wanting Poncle’s Vampire Survivors. The hit roguelike will be heading to Sony’s console later this summer. In addition, a new DLC will be coming to Vampire Survivors next month in the form of a crossover with Konami’s Contra series in Operation Guns!
Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns will launch May 9 across PC and consoles, and will head to the PlayStation version once it’s been released. The DLC will sport 11 new characters, including classic Contra mainstays Bill and Lance, characters from Contra: Hard Corps, and even Bill and Lance’s counterparts in Probotector!
The DLC will also feature a new stage called Neo Galuga, a new bonus stage, as well as 22 weapons from the series, including the iconic Spread Shot. The DLC will be topped off with 13 music tracks directly from the Contra series, as well as six brand new covers.
“This was yet another dream come true for many in our team, so thank you all for your continued support and making this a reality,” reads the update from Poncle.
As for the PlayStation port, Poncle says that Vampire Survivors will see a release on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. “We’re doing the ports ourselves just like the others, so we took our sweet time to get here, but in this way we can keep the low price and the parity of content, so it’s better in the long term.” Though there are no promises, the team hopes to have cross-save publicly available by the time the game is out this summer.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
